Kelly Rowland has released the official video for her latest single “Dirty Laundry.”
The video arrives two months after the audio was released. Penned by The-Dream, “Dirty Laundry” is the second single off Rowland’s new album Talk A Good Game.
In an interview with Billboard, Rowland shared the story behind making the stirring track.
“It was very emotional. It took me days to record,” Rowland told Billboard. “I had to get past being so upset and actually sing the song, not sob through it. I always hope that my music can inspire someone, the same way other artists inspire me. Dream said, ‘I want to write you a record so that people will know exactly who you are, underneath it all.’”
The-Dream added, “What unfolds on TV or on the Internet, it’s never really that. You think it is but it’s just not. When you have a stage like Kelly has, you should talk about that part of your life. I think Kelly’s way deeper than that.”
Talk A Good Game is the follow-up to Rowland’s 2011 album, Here I Am, which included her inescapable hit “Motivation” featuring rap heavyweight Lil Wayne.
